SPECIAL NOTES

WARNING

Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction

with Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not

been tested by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.
Only use the transport brackets included with TRRO and TRBKTS for the purposes

described in this manual.
SEAT POSITIONING STRAP
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the SEAT POSITIONING

STRAP is an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the seat

positioning strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat positioning

strap as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user. The seat positioning strap

is a positioning belt only. It is not designed for use as a safety device withstanding

high stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, seat

positioning strap MUST be replaced IMMEDIATELY.
As regards restraints - seat/chest positioning straps - it is the obligation of the DME

dealer, therapists and other healthcare professionals to determine if a seat/chest

positioning strap is required to ensure the safe operation of this equipment by the

user. SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR IN THE EVENT OF A FALL FROM A

WHEELCHAIR.
